Solution

The correct option is B Adipose tissue
  • Adipose tissue or fatty tissue is a connective tissue consisting mainly of fat cells (adipose cells, or adipocytes), specialized to synthesize and contain large globules of fat, within a structural network of fibers.
  • It is found mainly under the skin but also in deposits between the muscles, in the intestines and in their membrane folds, around the heart, and elsewhere. The fat stored in adipose tissue comes from dietary fats or is produced in the body. Fats are not stored in areolar tissue, cartilage or bone marrow.

Therefore, the correct answer is option B.
